ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[Blindgreed1]

That's the problem. These mentally ill people can't get any fucking help, although, I know some wouldn't take it if they could.

I think another part of the problem is the desensitizing of the public. Compare how the country reacted to Columbine to that of the most recent theater shootings. Everyone was more concerned about a poached lion a few days later than the shootings.

Valid point! For some.

Okay guys, I'm curious about the valid point, for some.

How does the contention that some of the public is desensitized to mass murders these days contribute to mass murders these days? I'm missing the connection; I don't see the former as being a problem that contributes to the latter.

Are you suggesting that if people were more shocked by mass murders or less concerned about a poached lion that there would be fewer mass murders (or more treatment for mentally ill people)?

It's a regular occurrence now. It never used to be. Information gets to people faster now, for better or worse. We hear about a lot more things that are going on then we used to, again for better or worse. The trend now seems to be going out (and taking others with you) and the world will know who you are. When once you were insignificant, now you are famous for a day or two. Then some asshole shoots a lion and everyone forgets about you until the next public shooting. Then you will be mentioned again. Briefly, but mentioned just the same.
